The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
नदीतीरे च गोष्ठे वा जपेल्लक्षं पयोब्रतः । पायसेनाज्ययुक्तेन हुत्वा विद्यानिधिर्भवेत् ॥ २६ ॥
nadītīre ca goṣṭhe vā japellakṣaṃ payobrataḥ | pāyasenājyayuktena hutvā vidyānidhirbhavet || 26 ||
دریا کے کنارے یا گوشتھ (گؤشالہ) میں پَیَو ورت رکھ کر منتر کا ایک لاکھ جپ کرے۔ گھی ملا پایس کی آہوتی دے تو وہ ودیا کا خزانہ بن جاتا ہے۔
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada)
Vrata: Payovrata (milk-vow)
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It teaches a disciplined sādhanā model—vrata (dietary vow), lakṣa-japa (large-count repetition), and homa (fire-offering)—as a means to stabilize and deepen vidyā (sacred/technical knowledge) until it becomes firmly established in the practitioner.
Though framed as a technical rite, it reflects bhakti through austerity, purity, and sustained mantra practice; the reverent offering (homa) and self-restraint (payovrata) embody devotional commitment that supports mantra efficacy.
It highlights practical ritual science—counted mantra-japa (lakṣa), prescribed vratas, and homa-dravya selection (pāyasa with ājya)—typical of Vedāṅga-aligned procedural instruction (kalpa/ritual method).
